We want the scanner to drop straight into Teams or SharePoint
No office scanner can do that without an intermediary. SharePoint has no SMB share. You need a relay.
Try this first
- 1Option 1: scan to an email mailbox that Power Automate picks up and posts into SharePoint. Works, but each rule takes work.
- 2Option 2: scan to a local share that syncs with OneDrive/SharePoint. Simple, but doesn't prevent duplicates.
- 3Option 3: vendor app on the scanner itself (HP Smart, Canon uniFLOW Online, Konica Dispatcher Phoenix). Cleanest but adds a licence cost.
- 4Which fits depends on: scans per day, do you need OCR, and does your vendor have a good integration?

- Print job stuck in queue, nothing happensA stuck queue blocks all subsequent prints. Cleaning takes two minutes.
- Scanner no longer sends emails (scan-to-email)Almost always: the account the scanner uses had its password expire, or the mail provider blocks old protocols.
None of the above fits?
